I think I was saying something about a "Murphy's Law" season earlier? Wellemeyer retires ONE batter gets out of the inning unscathed. Meanwhile, Reyes's SB pct = barely adequate 28 of 37 ~ 75% and when you add in the pickoffs it's worse still

SteveJRogers Jul 01 2008 06:27 PM

Reyes gets caught stealing after a leadoff single by F. Molina. FWIW, Tony Armas Jr. does have an MLB.com pic for his profile. So there!

SteveJRogers Jul 01 2008 06:29 PM

Just reading that now on GameDay, wow! Yeah it was an "everything that can go wrong..." type of inning for the Mets!

SteveJRogers Jul 01 2008 06:31 PM

Ankiel with a 2 run homer (Aaron Miles had a one out double). Making that hard luck top of the first even MORE hard luck for the Metsies!

SteveJRogers Jul 01 2008 06:32 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 01 2008 06:34 PM

Glaus with a basehit. This is not looking good. BTW, is it true that the Mets have not come from behind from 3 runs down all year? That can't be right, can it?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 06:33 PM

Tremendous, unrelenting suck

SteveJRogers Jul 01 2008 06:42 PM

Time to get those runs back!

SteveJRogers Jul 01 2008 06:43 PM

Thats one. A start.

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2008 06:45 PM

The only team to run itself out of more runs tonight is the frickin Rangers who let Joba the Hut off the hook big time with some real dumbth.

AG/DC Jul 01 2008 06:45 PM

We needed Tony Armas Sr. there.

SteveJRogers Jul 01 2008 06:45 PM

Ehhhh. We got on the board at least. Now if Armas can SETTLE DOWN, maybe a lead can be had!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 06:55 PM

I think we need Tony Armas III.

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2008 07:19 PM

There ya go Ramon!

Fman99 Jul 01 2008 07:28 PM

Ramon Castro can drink my milkshake.

Fman99 Jul 01 2008 07:32 PM

No, I take that back. Give me that milkshake, Ramon!

Fman99 Jul 01 2008 07:33 PM

Easley saves a run with a nice pickup on a hard grounder. On to the top of the inning...

AG/DC Jul 01 2008 07:38 PM

The Cardinal broadcasters and Aflac asks, "Who were the principles in the last trade between the Cards and the Mets?"

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 07:39 PM

Jesse Orosco and Joe McEwing?

cooby Jul 01 2008 07:43 PM

No Zvon tonight? I hope he hasn't given up!

KC Jul 01 2008 08:00 PM

I sign on, Wright homers! 7-3 in the sixth.

AG/DC Jul 01 2008 08:01 PM

David Wright: pretty good for a bad season.

KC Jul 01 2008 08:02 PM

Lotta season left. I wanna leave St. Louis with three under the belt.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 08:02 PM

Needs a triple in his next turn.

Gwreck Jul 01 2008 08:03 PM

Trivia answer is Wilson Delgado and Roger Cedeno? We need to buy Keith and Gary a map. I remember this same geography problem from either last year or '06. Keith: "Well, Missouri, I think it's the only state that is surrounded by 8 other states..." Gary: "I think it's 11..." Gwreck: "Jeez. Both Missouri and Tennessee are bordered by 8 states each."

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 08:13 PM

I was trying to imagine the 11 states surrounding Missouri.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 08:16 PM

This is the O I was anticipating arriving last night.

KC Jul 01 2008 08:36 PM

I hope Cougar didn't go out for a run.

themetfairy Jul 01 2008 08:41 PM

Shit - Duaner looks hurt!

themetfairy Jul 01 2008 08:43 PM

OK - after taking Molina's ball to the knee, Duaner leaves the field under his own power. Whew!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 08:43 PM

Yadier Molina is already going to hell, I dunno how this makes it worse. Duaner = OK.

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2008 08:44 PM

Duaner looks completely different without the cap and glasses. Not sure I've seen him that way before.

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2008 08:50 PM

Ya gotta like Brian Barton as a bench player just because it's cool to have a dreadlocked aeronautical engineer on your squad.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2008 08:55 PM

Yay Mets.

Gwreck Jul 01 2008 08:55 PM

Put it in the books.

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2008 08:55 PM

And a drama-free 9th from Billy boy!!
